Monolatry

From Wepwawet Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Monolatry (Greek μόνος (monos) = single and λατρεία(latria) = worship) is a form of theology where adherents believe in the existence of multiple deities but worship only one. In contrast to monotheists, monolatrists accept the existence of other gods. This differs from henotheism, in which multiple gods might be worshipped but one in particular is elevated to a higher ranking.
